Been there, done that. I blogged before it was popular and now I'm not interested in being lumped with all the other bloggers, some who aren't evidence based. This blog is geared toward providers and colleagues. It's to provoke thought, discuss value, and create ideas. I hope you enjoy!

I’m Maryellen Hauver and I am one of the interns spending
time at Kindred Nutrition this summer.
I just completed my sophomore year at Bridgewater College,
studying Nutritional Science. As I got into my major at school, I began to
consider what job I would like to use my degree for after school. In my classes
I mostly heard about working as a Registered Dietitian. Before choosing this as

or Dawn’s clients talk about how they’ve cut back on calories to lose weight
but have hit a weight-loss plateau. Many

conclusion that the client is not eating enough. This probably sounds foreign but you do need
to eat in order to lose weight! If
you’re not eating enough your body goes into “starvation mode.” Then whenever you do eat your body
automatically stores those calories as fat because it is worried that it is not
going to get enough calorie…
